David Cameron refuses to allow his daughter to listen to Lily Allen, the
Conservative leader has revealed.

Mr Cameron revealed he had told his own six-year-old daughter Nancy to stop listening to songs by Lily Allen because some of the sexual references in her lyrics were inappropriate for a child of that age.

However, he admitted that when his wife Samantha tried to enforce the rule a "tussle" broke out with Nancy during which his iPod was broken.

"She did break my iPod," he said. "I wasn't in the car at the time, but I heard a description. There was a bit of a tussle over it... I will probably get my wife arrested if I go on."

Speaking in Shortlist magazine, Mr Cameron confirmed that he was a fan of darts on TV and was thrilled to meet some of the sport's "titans of the 1980s" when he went to turn on the Christmas lights in his Oxfordshire constituency.

"I think they were a bit surprised I knew who they were," he recalled.

"I was a darts fan from watching the TV and playing a bit in the pub, but I wouldn't pretend I was any good."

In an earlier interview with GMTV, he also touched upon speaking about his family in light of Gordon Brown's controversial televised interview with Piers Morgan.

He said: "I've always said, and I think I've been consistent about this over the last four years, that if you want to stand to be prime minister, you are asking people to make a big decision.

"I think you should open up and answer questions where you feel appropriate and let people have a look at you and your life and all the rest of it.

"I've always been quite comfortable in doing that. In the end, what matters is the substance, the policies, the things you are going to change in the country, but I think people do have a right to ask you questions and I've tried to be as open as I can."

He added: "All you can do in politics is do what you think is right. I've always just tried to make a judgment over the last four years about what questions to answer, about how much to open up, how much to let people see of your life...

"As I say, in the end you are asking a really big thing of people, saying trust me, trust my team to come and bring change to the country. All you can do is what you think is right, that's what I've always tried to do."
